The ocean is
a restless queen
a troubled queen
in silver gown
slow pacing in
her frazzled gown
both in and out
and up and down
the pardon done
then blotted out.

I'm very curious about this: "the pardon done....then blotted out" Do you mean this to be read in columns, the left, then the right, or straight across? or both? I read it as two separate columns.
Hey Amber, Thanks for your note. The primary read is column 1 then column 2. There is a gentle suggestion to read across. The overarching idea is the ocean as a queen, weighing a decision: granting mercy (pardon) or not (blotted out). Perhaps, pardon::no storm::pleasant day at the beach vs. pardon blotted out::great storm::devastation. There is also the delicate allusion to, perhaps, the queen herself is awaiting a decision - that will pardon or condemn her. Peace, B.R.
